2008, 32(6): 568-571.
Abstract:
In order to study the influence of dispersion on the information transfer capacity of the communication system,the mechanism of all kinds of dispersion for single-mode and multimode fibers,such as polarization mode dispersion,material dispersion,wave leading dispersion and mode dispersion,was studied by means of simulation.The expanded pulse width induced by dispersion in standard fibers whose refractive index n=1.516 and n=1.458 respectively was obtained after propagating 10km distance.The dispersion effect for multimode fibers with the propagation wavelength as 850nm and 1310nm respectively was compared.The effect of the spectrum width of the different laser sources,such as LD(Δλ=1nm) and LED(Δλ=70nm),on the pulse width was compared.It shows that the group velocity dispersion group velocity dispersion is 0 when the propagation wavelength of the system is 1.27μm for a pure silica fiber,the intra-modal dispersion becomes abnormal dispersion when the graded-index multimode fiber is in the propagation window of 850nm or 1310nm and that the expanded pulse width induced by the chromatic dispersion and modal dispersion would increase with the numerical aperture,refractive index and the spectrum width of the laser source.

2008, 32(6): 605-607.
Abstract:
In order to obtain excellent optoelectronic integrated device and optical waveguide,it is significant to study the preparation and attribute of nano-porous oxidized silicon.Porous silicon samples were prepared by electrochemical anodic oxidization.After oxidization at high temperature,nano-porous oxidized silicon samples was fabricated.The samples of porous silicon and nano-porous oxidized silicon were detected with photoluminescence and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.The test results demonstrated that compared with porous silicon,the photoluminescence(PL) peak of porous oxidized silicon shifted to a shorter wavelength,i.e.so called "blue shift",along with obvious reduction of PL intensity.The surface of porous silicon was saturated by hydrogen,however,the most of Si—H bonds on the surface of nano-porous silicon were replaced by Si—O bonds after oxidization.The peak blue shift was induced by quantum confinement effect.The reduction of PL intensity was induced by the reduction of radioactive recombination center on the nano-crystalline surface and the diminution of nano-crystalline Si column's size.

Abstract:
In order to increase the transmission distance for optical millimeter wave over an optical fiber,a novel scheme for optical millimeter wave generation with optical carrier suppression(OCS) modulation by external modulator in a radio over fiber(ROF) system was proposed.At the central station,a CW wave was intensity modulated by the RF signal to generate OCS signal.After the pure optical carrier was filtered,an optical interleaver was employed to separate the spectrum of the upper sideband and the lower sideband of the generated OCS signal.After the lower sideband signal was modulated with a baseband data at 2.5Gbit/s,it was recombined with the unmodulated signal to generate optical mm-wave,and then transmitted to the base station over a single mode fiber(SMF).In the base station,the electrical mm-wave signal was generated by optical electrical(O/E) conversion.The dispersion performance of the generated mm-wave was theoretically analyzed.The optical millimeter wave could be transmitted 40km over a single mode fiber in the experiment.The simulation and experiment results show that it can immune the fading effect and increase the transmission distance for optical millimeter wave over fibers with this method.
